'You Said, Together We Did'

(SACRAMENTO)

Over the summer, UC Davis Health leaders received valuable feedback from the March 2023 CommUNITY Feedback Survey, along with resources to discuss with their teams how focused improvements can be made in areas of opportunity.

Executive leaders were also out and about in the following weeks, listening to employee and physician feedback directly to understand what improvements are needed in processes, quality, equipment, or other key areas. Thank you to everyone for engaging in these efforts, speaking up, and helping build a stronger CommUNITY.

The items below are some highlights among the positive changes that have been made directly in response to the CommUNITY Feedback Survey, I-DARE Survey, and other employee feedback.
